    Looking back on the days when I used to spend MR points on GC and payments, I regret so much!

      That’s nothing, I offloaded mine on qantas wines at the start of Covid and international airlines going into liquidation

        I got 2 ipad mini 5's at the first hint of Covid - got them just before they suspended redemptions.
        If you hung on, you might have ended up with zero points (bust), or heavily diluted.

      Agree. Better with flight

      • bheart on 06/06/2025 - 19:02

        is it the case if you never plan to upgrade?

  • Zippy7 on 06/06/2025 - 16:28

    bumps the redemption rate from 1 pt = 0.5 cents to 1pt = 0.55 cents

    presumably flights and upgrades are still better value (if you save enough points)

    • aNoPHeLeS on 06/06/2025 - 16:52

      Yeah surely saving them for flights might yield more. Then again, I been saving for ages and done nothing with them yet!

  • hippyhippy on 06/06/2025 - 16:39

    Anyone know the difference with just converting points for money repayment?

    • Oh Daddy on 06/06/2025 - 16:49

      Points to money is usually 20k to $100 giving you a 0.5c per point

  • Justin2688 on 06/06/2025 - 16:48

    Can you buy amex points?

    • ajole on 07/06/2025 - 05:15

      No

  • NonSense on 06/06/2025 - 16:51

    um… redeemed 10 min ago but haven't received gift card yet

    If you travel much better for airlines. I use for velocity

    Just in time! My boss just texted me asking to purchase 4 apple gift cards, he will be happy I got a discount 😀

      Does he clain to work for the ATO?

  • easternculture on 06/06/2025 - 17:20

    Prefer to transfer to velocity and get a one way buisness fare to dubai last minute for just over 120k points (those cheap fares pop up every now and then, just gotta be ready to fly same night or the morning after)

    • OzzyBrak on 07/06/2025 - 00:49

      There would surely be a tiny number of people able and willing to fly to Dubai with no notice.

      How do you even make that work? Call in sick for work?

      • easternculture on 07/06/2025 - 09:46

        Some people have to work. Some dont 🤣🤣🤣

    • ajole on 07/06/2025 - 05:18

      What airline? Do you mean Doha or (until recently) Abu Dhabi?

      • easternculture on 07/06/2025 - 09:45

        Via etihad using VFF
        I used to see a few every couple of weeks but the contract ended with etihad

  • TimApple on 06/06/2025 - 17:46

    There’s no way this is a good value. Better to exchange to velocity points.

    This shouldn't be on ozbargain… it's the opposite of a bargain! Rip off using your amex points this way.

    • SickDmith on 07/06/2025 - 01:59

      Sensei, show us the right way then!

      • Wazzzzup on 07/06/2025 - 15:37

        The only way to use Amex points is to convert to frequent flyer points. 200,000 points for $1,100 apple or amazon dollars is crazy, when you can convert 200,000 points to say Asia Miles. You can get a one-way non stop business class flight to Los Angeles for the same points but worth $6-8k depending time of the year. Or if you don't want to be boujee a return economy flight ticket sydney to los angeles is 80,000 asia miles = 160,000 amex points… that's valued at $2k.

        • easternculture on 07/06/2025 - 15:45

          Agree, my last trip i booked economy via VFF. Cost me return 130k points and $700. If i was to book at that exact time, would have cost me over $3k with a longer layover.

        • Think on 07/06/2025 - 18:05

          How to redeem Asia Miles on AMEX site?

          • Wazzzzup on 07/06/2025 - 18:55

            @Think: It's pretty clear on the menu option.

        • cloudy on 08/06/2025 - 07:40

          Thanks for the detailed write up, but for someone who doesn’t fly - no passport- is there a better way to spend points than Amazon gc?

          • Wazzzzup on 08/06/2025 - 12:58

            @cloudy: You're better off getting a card where you get 2% cash back… i'm not sure what's the best value to spend points other than transfer to frequent flyers… as this deal gets you a little over 1% cashback per dollar spent.

  • Frozensage on 06/06/2025 - 20:23

    Damn just used my points to pay my the bill

  • FrankoCosta on 06/06/2025 - 20:42

    Terrible value - transfer to US MR FTW!!!!!!

    How to convert to Apple Gift Card ?

    i couldn't find Apple gift card in the website

    • nolongerhuman on 09/06/2025 - 20:53

      Easy to do on the app
      Go to memebership and then rewards and choose gift cards you will see apple there
